Chancellor Vanderhoef READS THIS JOURNAL

Dec 05, 2003 13:01


   At a Press Conference Wednesday evening UC Davis Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef made reference to "the Emosnail journal," in response to questions about ways he keeps in touch with student life and ASUCD activities.

Initially listed as one of several ways the Chancellor keeps up with student affairs, he elaborated that "there really was no accurate way to get a feel for the sum of activity within ASUCD until we discovered the Emosnail Journal. The staff at Emosnail really tell it like it is in a fair and impartial manner." He also commended the UC Davis livejournal community as a source of a wider range of more opinionated views. When asked if he was aware of the attempt to remove the ASUCD Chief Justice based on material in the Emosnail Journal, Vanderhoef explained "yes I'm aware of that, and I think it underscores the vital importance and relevance of the journal to ASUCD and the campus at large."

There was no other discussion of the journal during the press conference, but afterwords an Emosnail field operative happened to overhear some further informal discussion.
   "I think it really brings the government closer to the students than it's ever been before. What'll happen now, for example, when Pavel Ivanov [quoted in the Senate and Aggie for calling the ASUCD President a "bitch"] runs into [ASUCD President] Sara Henry in the hall? Or what about "wdsguy" for that matter?" The Chancellor went on to discuss such tangent issues as Vice President Kalen Gallagher's hairstyles, his high opinion of the efforts of the ASUCD Environmental Planning Commission, speculation as to whether there'd be more closed sessions at the following Thursday (12/04/03)'s ASUCD Senate meeting, and his personal opinion of a number of the people and events portrayed in the Emosnail Journal.

ASUCD Senate members immediately vowed to pursue the issue until they achieved removal, vengeance, and death. Later they clarified that when death was mentioned they were discussing the state of some of their social lives.
